The extraordinary general meeting resolved in accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors to approve the transaction regarding a final payment amounting to SEK 21.2 million in cash to Sunstone in accordance with the addendum (the "Addendum”) between the Company and Sunstone.

The APP can now, with the approval of the general meeting be pre-payed fully according to the Addendum, which stipulates that the Company shall pay a total of SEK 26 million. Of this, SEK 4.8 million has been paid in advance in the form of a down payment, and the Company now has, after the general meeting’s approval, the possibility to pay the remaining SEK 21.2 million to Sunstone, when the planned rights issue has been completed.

Resolution on authorisation of the board of directors to resolve on a preferential rights issue (item 7 on the agenda)

The extraordinary general meeting resolved, in accordance with the proposal of the board of directors, on an authorisation for the board of directors to, before next year’s annual general meeting, at one or more than one occasion, resolve on share issues, within the limitations of the articles of association, with preferential rights for current shareholders, to be paid in cash, in kind or through set-off. Issuance of new shares pursuant to the authorisation shall be executed on customary terms under current market circumstances. The board of directors has the right to resolve on issuance of new shares in an aggregate maximum amount of approximately SEK 160 million by virtue of the authorisation.

The purpose of the authorisation is that the proceeds from the issuance of shares shall mainly be used to finance the project development towards a reopening of the Viscaria mine, and to prepay the additional purchase price regarding the Viscaria acquisition (item 6). In addition, the Company intends to create a stable financial position for the Company that enables value-adding activities within the Company’s other projects.

In the event that not all new shares are subscribed for by exercise of subscription rights, the Board of Directors shall, within the limits of the maximum amount of the rights issue, resolve on allotment of new shares subscribed for without subscription rights, whereby allotment shall be made primarily to those who have given binding undertakings prior to the launch of the planned rights issue to subscribe for shares without support of subscription rights, secondly to those who have subscribed for shares by exercise of subscription rights (irrespective of whether the subscriber was a shareholder on the record date or not) and have applied for subscription without subscription rights, and, in the event allotment cannot be fully made, pro rata in relation to the number of subscription rights each subscriber has exercised for subscription of shares those who have subscribed for shares, thirdly to those who have subscribed for shares in the rights issue without subscription rights and, in the event allotment cannot be fully made, pro rata in relation to the number of shares stated in each subscription application.
